[Immunoglobulinic fragments of urinary proteins in patients affected by acute pneumonopathies, lung cancer and tuberculosis (author's transl)].
This study reports the immunoelectrophoretic analysis performed on 95 samples of urinary proteins. This analysis shows that in the majority of cases the migrant proteins in gamma position are F(ab) and Fc fragments, and free light chains with a molecular weight between 70,000 and 10,000. There is evidence of an increase in the immunoglobulinic fragments during inflammatory processes and their disappearance afterwards. This phenomenon proves that the elimination of these fragments evidences an increased synthesis of immunoglobulins and consequently also an increased catabolism.
